Anyway, seems like my cable modem's also on the fritz... it just conked out on me just now... couldn't even have power... so I let it cool down, then it got all better again... hehe... something like having a fever... ;) Stoopid thing... 2nd time this happened.... I think it's time to get a new modem... maybe a wireless networking one... hehe... just in time for Uni too... hehe...
Guess I've still got time to put up day 3 of my Perth trip... if it's short enough, maybe day 4 too...
11th April
Ah... this is what a holiday is supposed to be like.... sleeping late, waking up late... just lazing around... Waiting for my sis to meet us in the hotel, then we're going to eat dim sum at Hoi's Kitchen... nice... it's a small place near the train station, but very popular... wasn't even 12 and the place was already crowded...
The food was nice too... esp the prawn dumplings and chicken feet... although I don't really like the feet... but I did try one... quite nice...
Then we went to see my sis' house... quite a cosy place... quiet too... walking in the area, I saw many houses with boats being towed behind their cars... They really like the sea!!! Anyway, we were waiting for the public bus outside the hotel so we would go there, when I saw this really cool modded silver Supra!! Damn nice!! Took pics like crazy... hehe... even have one full body shot... yeah!! The bus was no. 880 to Windich St. The buses here are really slack... They have determined time schedules as to when they arrive, and the thing is, each interval is more than a half hour long!!! 0_o
The trip itself took half an hour... her house is wooden, so the floor kinda creaks when you walk around... and echoes too, esp when someone as heavy as my sis walks around... haha... Saw her housemate Nadine too... nice girl... bought a new plant for the garden too... although I think the garden needs more care than the plant.. hee... We spent some time there, then took the bus back to the hotel to have dinner, then we walked around the shopping area for a while, stocked up on snacks and went back to the hotel...
12th April
Had breakkie at 8.30.... Watched TV till 11... Took a train to Fremantle for shopping with sis and parents at 12... It's a public holiday, so perth basically closed down, nearly everyone went to Freo, as they called it... We went to this huge warehouse place that had a lot of small stores, selling nearly everything you wanted... fountains, snacks, souveniers, watches, clothes, sunnies (aka sunglasses)... quite a lot of trinkets... We bought 3 bags of nougats... hehe... all different types...
Then we walked to the pier, where there were performances and parks to stroll through... and... Fish and Chips shops!!! Woohoo!! Lunch time!!! Went to this place called Kaili's... the food there is freat!! We ate one set of fish and chips, 2 whole lobsters and a dozen oysters... I must say... the oysters and lobsters are REALLY FRESH!!! The whole place was crowded though...
Went to the fremantle markets after that... saw more shops selling stuff... bought more nougats... hehe... then went to get ice cream... yum!! Since the shop was just along the street, I saw a lot of ppl driving by, and I must say... They really love their power cars!! Saw couple of Skylines, Corvettes and even a Ford GT... Whoo!! Saw Harleys too... ;)
Visited the shipwreck museum after that... saw nice pics of shipwrecks which were discovered around Fremantle's coast... Bought some stuff, and then we took the train back... Went back to the hotel room, and I watched TV while waiting for my sis to come back with her friend so we could go for dinner... Went to this place which is open 24 hours, called Oreil... ate a beef burger... nice... Then we sat there and talked, and drove back to send me back to the hotel, but since the whole area was covered in one way streets, we kinda got lost and had to drive around looking for the street to turn into... I found that street and told my sis to take it, but she didn't want to, and instead, stopped me a block up the street, and I had to walk a block down the street back to the hotel... sheesh... told ya you should have taken that right turn... haha.... ;)
Yep... that's all for now... see ya...
